C-COR.net and SVCI Announce Initial Deliveries of Both Mini and Multiplexing Nodes for AT&T's LightWire(TM) Field Trial in Salt Lake City STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- C-COR.net (Nasdaq: CCBL - news) announced today that it has completed initial delivery of its new mini-fiber nodes to AT&T Broadband & Internet Services (AT&T BIS) for deployment in the Salt Lake City trial of AT&T's LightWire(TM) Neighborhood Broadband System. Silicon Valley Communications, Inc. (SVCI), working together with C-COR.net on this project, has also announced the first delivery of multiplexing nodes for the field trial. Both node products form part of the foundation for the experimental LightWire(TM) architecture developed by AT&T BIS and AT&T Labs. The trial deployment in Salt Lake City will be used for concept testing of this architecture. Commenting on the trial and the participation of C-COR.net and SVCI, Tony Werner, CTO of AT&T's Broadband & Internet Services, stated, ``We are testing a ground-breaking architecture based on the extensive use of optical technology combined with a passive coax system to provide for unsurpassed reliability and capacity. We believe C-COR.net's reputation for quality and responsive support in the CATV industry will help us to explore this new vision in meeting customer needs. We are pleased to work with and receive C-COR.net's first shipment of mini-nodes, as well as the multiplexing nodes provided by SVCI, both of which represent a new family of products developed for a new system architecture.' Adding to this statement, David A. Woodle, President and CEO of C-COR.net, observed, ``We are proud to be working with SVCI as an AT&T BIS supplier of two new products developed specifically for this significant field trial. We believe AT&T BIS's next-generation design for high-speed broadband cable systems will provide the bandwidth and reliability needed for interactive information services. Our active participation in the Salt Lake City test matches our own corporate strategy of providing the broadband communications market with the tools and technical know-how to increase network capacity and ensure network integrity.'
